I would suggest to drag the facts about Bach on his own wiki page.. He doesn't deserve 14 lines out of 30 in Skid Row's History...--Fireblues 19:37, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Anthrax and Megadeth, "similar" to Skid Row? Puh-lease. They may have been tamer thrash bands, but they weren't much like this band.

[edit] Heavy metal or hard rock?
The first sentence seems to me to contradict itself : "an American heavy metal band which became the hard rock prototypes of the late 1980s metal scene"... So is Skid Row a hard rock band or a heavy metal band?? It can't be both! Besides, this sentence, even if it made sense doesn't really pass the test of NPOV... who says Skid Row is "the hard rock prototype of the late 1980s"? I certainly don't think so... It would be great if someone could modify that sentence. --IronChris 03:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I wonder if anybody would have any objection to taking out the sentence about the band name being inspired by Gary Moore's band. --LanceManion1973 19 April 2006
hi, I took it. Actually, the band bought the rights of that name after knowing about gary Moore's Skid Row. (this story can be quoted from Sebastian Bach's site www.sebastianbach.com )--Kapaue 19:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Diffenitly Heavy Metal, in fact their early sound was Hair Metal and their later sound was basically Thrash & borderline Groove Metal, this should be written in.
[edit] Glam? I Don't Think So.
I got rid of Skid Row being called "glam metal". They are not glam or hair metal - actually, they were one of the few metal bands in the 80's who were neither; they were hard rock/metal.
The new Skid Row isn't really Skid Row anymore. With Sebastian Bach gone, Affuso gone. Skid Row scored success with their first three albums and scored two major hits on the chart with 18 & Life and I Remember You.
Sebastian Bach's vocals are one-of-a-kind and Solinger will never ever have the same success as the old Skid Row.
My advice: Forget THE NEW SKID ROW.
- I agree with both of you guys-
-Hair metal were Poison & Firehouse etc. Glam Metal were Diamond Rexx & early Crue.
-Since Sebastian Bach leaving, Skid Row has become average. Just stay heavy metal, forget changing with the times.
[edit] Lawsuit
I seem to recall that there was a lawsuit filed by Skid Row against Jon Bon Jovi because he was getting 90% of their royalties for "discovering" them. This might be worth mentioning, if a citation can be found. JediLofty 09:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I don't understand this...
"Some are of the opinion that their later years with Sebastian Bach as vocalist, that the band resembled Lääz Rockit in sound and image."
This sentence seems (to me) a direct translation of a non native english speaker
[edit] Live in Moscow
Is Live in Moscow an official release? Anyone knows the tracklist from this gig? [1], [2] -- Janadore 10:21, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Irony
Anyone else find it ironic that they were 'eclipsed' by grunge bands out of Seattle. Skid Row is a term that originated in Seattle. But Skid Row the band is from New Jersey. -- Suso 13:55, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Inconsistency
In this article it says that the band purchased the name from the older Irish band also named Skid Row, but in the article about the original Skid Row it says that that band has always been angry for the US Skid Row stealing their name. Which is correct? --Bentonia School 04:34, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
